Factory chute vs. Shop Nation
See the difference
Factory dust chutes leave a gap right where the blade throws the most debris. Ours is engineered around the DeWalt DWS779/780 Sliding Miter Saw to close it and steer chips into your hose, so they stop ending up on the floor, the fence and in your lungs.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Which saws does it fit?
It fits these saw models:
DWS779
DWS780
DW718
DWS709
DWS782
DHS790
Check the model number on your saw's label before ordering.
Do I need a vacuum or dust collector?
Yes. The chute steers debris into your hose, so you'll need a shop vac or dust collector connected to it to get the full benefit.
How hard is it to install?
It's straightforward. It bolts into the same spot as the factory chute, with no cutting, drilling or modification to your saw. Most installs take a few minutes.
Can I go back to the factory chute?
Yes. Nothing on your saw is modified, so you can put the stock chute back on any time.
How much of a difference does it really make?
A big one. The chute closes the gap where factory chutes let the most debris escape, so far more chips end up in your vac instead of on the floor, the fence and in the air. Read what 57 woodworkers say in the reviews above.
How do I get the build plans?
The plans are digital PDFs, delivered by email immediately after purchase, so you can start planning your next build while the chute ships. If the email doesn't show up within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder.
What happens if I return the chute?
The physical chute is covered by our 30-day satisfaction guarantee. A fixed $40 of the bundle price is allocated to the digital build plans, and once they're delivered that $40 is nonrefundable for change-of-mind or dissatisfaction returns, including on discounted or sale purchases.
If you return the chute, your product refund is the bundle price you actually paid after discounts, minus $40, plus applicable refundable tax. Return shipping and original shipping refunds are handled under our Returns & Refunds Policy. Full details are in Section 8 of our Terms of Service.
Install was easy but the first time using the saw, the rubber scoop went into the blade and was cut up. When cutting, I extend the blade all the way out and into the wood, then push it toward the fence. This caused the scope to get hung up on the fence and be sliced up. If I start the cut from the fence and extending the blade out, the scoop tends to hang up on the fence. I'm going to replace the scoop with the second one that came with the kit and try changing the way I make cuts (starting at the fence and drawing the blade toward me) but I'm not seeing any the advantage of this product yet.
I put off purchasing one of these for my DeWalt 780 saws and that's my biggest regret, that I didn't buy one sooner. I've got all of my saws outfitted with them now and every future saw will have one as well. The dust collection is unbelievable, especially compared to the stock dust chute that DeWalt supplies. The design is flawless and fits perfectly onto the saw without any issues or cutting or grinding needed, they really put the effort into these dust collection units, I would recommend one to any serious carpenter.
I enjoy the channel content and have learned quite a bit from watching it, and so it was an easy choice to give the product a try. I hated the standard dust collection, because it was terrible, and I wanted to be able to work in my garage without having to roll my saw out to my driveway. Packaging was great, instructions were top notch and easy to follow along with (the video), and honestly the part quality was superb - much better than other 3D printed products I've purchased. It feels OEM. Bonus points for a high quality sticker that adheres to powder coated drawers.
Pros: easy install, quality build, works exactly like it says. Significantly increases dust collection (not perfect, but that's because of the nature of a miter saw). It also fits my quick connect adapter from Rockler for my vac hoses.
Cons: saw blade changing is a little more challenging; I needed to loosen a few additional screws and had to figure out the best way to do it. Not really an issue, just a learning curve.
Easy installation after watching the video. I received a duplicate order and it was delivered to your doorstep. Unfortunately I did not have a return authorization number. The mail lady delivered it to the door and said it was a duplicate order and asked If I had ordered 2. I answered no she said that she would take care of the package.
I felt that it’s important to do the right thing.
The reduction in saw dust is about 75%. Great product

The install was pretty easy, and the device is simple in design. However, it does not contain nearly as much sawdust as claimed, even with vacuum attached. It does have a much better and more secure attachment to the vacuum hose, though, than the stock dust collector.
I am using it with my Festool dust extractor, but it blows dust all over the place. It is worse than Dewalt installed one. (at least factory installed one shoots dust to the back)
Store owner replied:
Wow very sorry to hear about this, that is definitely not typical. Please reach out to our customer service email and we'll help you troubleshoot the issues
I would say this is a slight improvement over the oem dust system. Not the major
Improvement I was expecting. The rubber flange obtrusive when making tall cuts. Overall I would give it a C+.
the downloadable plans are detailed, gives some good ideas for garage projects. The dewalt dust collector is good. installs easy (except for one crappy located dewalt bolt for the blade guard). i use a full size rigid shop vac to suck up the dust, it does a good job keeping the mess to a minimum. if you have never used a shop vac for your various saws, it is totally worth it, especially for the price.
Before installing the dust-collection attachment for my DWS780, I had removed the stock "collector" and was just shooting all my dust into a hood, which was connected to a shop vac. I was hoping this attachment would be better than the hood, but in reality a lot of the particles now "bounce" off of the attachment and back at me. So while it does a decent job of sucking up most dust, a lot more dust than I was used to is bouncing back into my shop, which is not where I want it. I guess if you cannot do a dust hood, this is almost certainly better than the stock adapter (though not by much), but if you're trying to minimize dust in your shop, it seems to me that it might just be better to remove all dust collection at the blade and just let it shoot everything into a hood and vacuum things up from that.
Note: I hooked it up to my Makita VC4210L, so not a slouch by any means.
Haven’t put it to the test yet but looks like it’ll do good. Just makes it harder to change the blade on the saw but I’m sure with a little custom clearancing it’ll be good to go.
I just installed the kit last night and it was a GREAT improvement. I really wished had had taken a before and after video as folks would have been amazed.
On the bundle part (plans) that has been a huge waste of money so far! Don’t get me wrong they were sent digitally 2 times but I am unable to access them. I am sure it’s a “IO” problem…. Ignorant. operator. They are supposed to be getting back with me.
The video was easy to follow and overall easy install and works great. Redoing my work bench because I dont need that box to catch the extra dust from the old port
It looks just wonderful. However, I still have not been able to remove the blade guard. One screw, which came out perfectly in the video, will not move.
Shame you offered a discount after I ordered. Contacted you before the purchase and was advised no discount was available or coming. Funny, less than 30 days you have offered 2 discounts.
Once fitted the dust collector is awesome. The hose adapter is a little tight to the Rigid shop vac and pops off at times other than that it’s perfect.
Great product.
